1t has long ago become the mode of the
ambitious young members Of parliament
to abjure sack and patronize instead the
less stimulating "Apollinaris, which lat
ter Is the more frequent drink than the
once universal bottle of champagne or
claret. At one time Mr.. Gladstone had
in his cabinet a large number of sworn
teetotalers, but I am sorry to say that
their resolution did not hold out, and that
Sir Charles Dixie was the one man out
of the whole crowd who persisted in re-
naming a teetotaler to the end. Mr.. Glad
stone never smokes, but he drinks wine at
dinner and always winds up with glass
of port, which is his especial favorite. Mr..
Chamberlain never has n long and strong
cigar out Of his mouth and drinks cham
pagne ut meals. Mr.. John Morley also
drinks champagne, but has not been able
to get beyond the cigarette in smoking.
Sir W. Harcourt, who, though he looks
extremely strong, is one of dyspepsia's
many parliamentary martyrs, was o tee
totaler for some time, but has gone back
to claret. Lord Randolph Churchill
drinks very little, but smokes very con-
siderably Mr.. Labouchere is SO inveter-
ate smoker that he usually carries about
him box about four times the ordinary
size and he rushes to the smoke room
every spare moment during the evening of
the parliamentary session. Lord Sails
bury is compelled by his health to be most
moderate III his use of stimulants, and he
never smokes. Lord Dufferin neither
drinks nor smokes.-Liverpool Post.

Gipsy Grandams of the Camp.

At nearly every tent mouth or in nearly
every wagon front you will see one or
more of the old spae-wives of the camp.
These are the gypsy grandams. They arc
tall and strong though wrinkled and
grewsome. If away past fourscore years
of age, they have their own teeth, are
wonderful in their legs and In their facul-
ties, and are living lessons of the health
fulness of out door life. They arc not put
aside as we do our own old folk They are
the seers, the prophetesses, the advisers,
the strong, safe, reserve influence in all
the important affairs of tho race Many
and many know well, though they are
hard to know. But they will not disclose
like the younger growth, and you have to
battle your way bravely and with valiant
persistency to reach their inner lives.
With their shrill, keen voices; their
coarse, gray hair which never becomes
fairly white; their fiat, brown, ever open
breasts, like rugged studies in bronze;
their quick, swinging and seemingly fierce
gait, suggesting unchanging power; their
long, skinny arms and legs, half shown to
the knee, and their eyes, undimmed to
their dying day, though never knowing
shade from the sun other than that of the
tree or tent-they are the really witching
paw u eLo AtpiiHlttlly peopiC' anu Us YOU
study them by the camp fires there, though
you are impressed with the respect and
even tenderness all yield them, you can
for the first time rightly understand how
'Iancashire Witches" came to be written,
and how true type Scott's Meg Merrilies
may have been. These old spae-wives
never labor. They increasingly putter,
They poke the fires when they need no
poking. They fuss with the cooking meals
at all sorts of inopportune moments.
They quarrel with the tinkers, who yelp
back at them all sorts of respectful badi-
mage. They beat the dogs numerically
for no offense, for no human ever saw
gypsy dog commit an impropriety. They
berate sons and grandsons for alleged un-
satisfactory dickering, and garrulously
insist that the world shall be made more
and moro the gipsy's prey.-Edgar L.
Wakeman in Chicago News.

The Purity of Nid-AtIantic Air.

In the course of an address on the action
Of heterogeneous on surgical wounds,
Professor F. 8. Dennis, of New York,
states that during his last trip across the
Atlantic he made some experiments to test
the purity Of the air about 900 miles from
land He employed capsules of sterilized
gelatine, and exposed them for fifteen
minutes. One capsule was exposed in
the stateroom upon the main deck of the
steamer. Within eighteen hours over
500 points of infection had developed.
Two capsules exposed in similar manner
in a cabin on tho promenade deck, where
the circulation of air was free, showed
five or six points of infection each ten
days afterward. A capsule exposed over
the bow of the ship was found to be en-
tirely uncontaminated These expert
ments are on the same lines as those Of
Pasteur and Tyndall upon the mountain
air of Switzerland, and, so far as they go,
they show the germless condition Of mid
oceanic air, and also the need for much
more efficient ventilation in the state
rooms of even the first class American
liners.-Lancet.

1t makes no difference how well cstab-
ished patent medicine is, If the pro-
prietor cease advertising its sales dimin-
ish. Advertisement is to a great extent
the source of its existence. Ii it has merit
it may live even after advertising ceases,
but that life will be obscure, and some
other medicine of the same nature will be
advertised and take its place. Nothing
shows the benefits of advertising SO much
as patent medicine. An article will come
on the market; 1000 or $50, 900 will be
spent in advertising, and every Wholesale
drug house will handle it. AS long as the
advertising continues there will be a run
on 1t, but If the proprietors have no more ad-
vertising money to spend, or they think the
reputation Of the article safe without more
advertising, we find ourselves overstocked.
Take that well known St. Jacobs oil,
Before the proprietor died it was adver-
tised in the papers all over the country,
and on dead walls, and rocks and trees,
Since his death the advertising has been
diminished, and the sale has proportion
ately decreased. That is only IN example.
There are hundreds of once famous RENE
dies now forgotten because they were not
kept before the public's notice, A few Of
the good old ones have survived many
years because the proprietors recognized
the necessity of advertising, and have con-
tinued in systematic, regular way.-M.
P. Standish in Globe-Democrat.

Doolan saw MI tltesethings as in dream.
His consciousness of the beautiful was
dimmed by the awful possibilities which
lay between him and the mill roof. His
conscience was quickened. In that time
of supreme danger he thought of the
many mean things he had done In his
brief career. t!n muttered a little half
articnlate prayer under his breath as he
looked with staring eyes into the great
black mouth of the chimney, which
seemed to cape at him like the wide
opened Jaws of monstrous behemoth.
By this timc people, attracted by the
unusual sight of II boy on the chimney
top, had begun to gather. They came
running out of Goose alley and down
Murray street Teamsters stopped their
horses, and conferred together about how
they could reach the boy No zone offered
to go to Doulans assistance by the way
he had gone but Mickey, who laughed at
the danger The flame of Doolan's hope
flared up brightly for moment, as he
saw his mother come running down the
road.
"Did raise ye fur this9" shouted Mrs
Doolan, shaking her fist at her son.
"Come down out o. that afore yer father
comes home, or it'll be sorry day fur
yer'
AS Mrs. Doolan began to realize how
far her boy was from the ground-the
chimney had never seemed so high to her
before-she saw that he had gone too
deep into the shadows of fear to be awed
by any impending apple bough or leather
strap. And so Mrs Doolan stood in the
dusty road, her hands knotted In her
apron, and greedily watched her boy as he
crawled backward over the chmney's
edge. She saw the feet which she had
tucked away only the night before beneath
the bedclothes, feeling their way trem-
blingly over the bricks in search of the
first spike. She heard the shout that
went up from the crowd when the feet
retsed on the welcome spike. Then she
hid her eyes behind her apron, while
denthlike silence fell upon the crowd Her
boy had reached the loosened spike. Fear
fully he placed his foot upon it. Pieces
of mortar fell upon the roof.
"Pray to the blessed Virgin and hang
on!'' sang out resolnte voice from the
the crowd.
Now, Mickey, take this rope up to
him."
Mickey crawled up the board and
mounted, step by step, up the hazardous
stairway. He pissed the rope to Doolan,
who slipped the moose in the end of it over
the spike above him and slid down to tho
roof, where he was received by dozen
hands and laid in the arms of his mother.
Mickey waited until Doolan was safe.
Scorning the aid of the rope, he came
down the way he had gone mp. AS he
jumped upon the roof he exclaimed;
'Thim Doolan b'ys is no good. What's
tn use in maxim a fuss over little
climbp'f--New York Sun

chiId-very well Ha-mu," he cried, lift
ing his index finger, and four or five thou
sand big chests, all full Of silver, gold or
fine clothing, made their appearance.
At the sight of them the student bowed
down, SO that he almost buried his face in
the ground. He shed tears of joy, and
sobbed "Thanksl thanksp'
The genius laughed very heartily at
him and asked: sis it really possible that
in SO covetous heart as thine there are no
more desires2 wonder if you can imag-
inc anything further to ask9''
The student, without lifting his head,
replied:
'As you say, have indeed very
small thing to ask you, but nothing nearly
SO important as gold, silver, clothing,
houses or store rooms. beg of you, en-
treat you-it is such Z very little thing,
you can satisfy mo so [. lily"
And as his fac, became all covered with
perspiration through the agony of his
anxiety, the genius answered him with
frown:
Let me hear-let me hear what this
little thing is which you think is not
nearly so important as gold, silver, cloth
ing, houses or store rocms!"
At these words the student, full of Joy,
cried out:
"What would surpass all your other
favors and benefits would be-would be
to cut off your august finger and give it
to me-"
Then the genius, unable to endure any
more, asked himself il he ought not forth
with to destroy that man.
By this funny story 1t may be perceived
that all men in this world are like the
student; when they are rich they still pnr-
sue riches, and their covetousncss becomes
their ruin. If, on the other hand, they lie
In want they keep laInenting their poverty;
and as they only aggravate their position
thereby, their lamentations make them
appear stupid.
Mans life Is limited if then it be de-
voted to the qualification Of desires which
have no limit whatever how can one hope
to enjoy even one days peace Of mind
during the whole of ones earthly exist
ence?
Long ago I told the above story to an
old man, who said, when I had finished:
'What impressed me ns very curious
fnct Is that the genius cries out, wien he
lifts his finger, 'Ha-mur Now ha-nnu is
Japanese word meaning half And as
nothing in this world of ours is ever really
complete or perfect, if one Gun learn just
to content oneself with half, that half be-
comes as good as n whole"
Such is the mysterious art of the genius
gifted with supernatural power which
he is able to use as he plcascs In this
story, where the magician lifts his finger,
always bent instead of straight-always
demanding only the half instead Of the
whole-is there not a good sound moral
about the true way to prolong ones life
and ones enjoyments3 1t must be granted
that the following criticism which my
amused old friend made at once upon the
legend is worthy of attention:
''There is no greater error than desire
no greater misfortune than not to know
how to remain content. .''-Translated for
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The portrait painter paints on silk and
entirely in water colors. The silk fiber
gives soft and mellow effect to the pict-
ures. A portrait of Mr.. A. s. Abel,
painted from photograph, has just been

artist, is not what is known in Japan as a
"quick artist" Tanaka Saw only paints
with one color at time, but f. Baske
Saw, satin painter, and T. Fuzlhashi Saw,
a ''quick artist, are indeed rapid workers,
and paint with two and three colors on the
same brush at once, two brushes to hand.
Before commencing picture they dip the
brush in two or three different colors. The
colors are put on the surface of the silk or
paper by the different degrees of pressure
given the brush. Ordinary sketches are
painted in three or four minutes, and In
an hour a large sized design of birds,
flowers, ETC., with richest coloring and
plumage, is produced on satin. The mix

We are constantly receiving complaints
Of sewer gas in different parts of the city,
and it has been great question how to
get rid of the offensive substance. 1t is
almost impossible to contine it, and it has
been the source of much annoyance. be-
lieve have good plan for getting away
with it with very little expense and no an
noyance Along every sewer where it is
generated there are mills and factories, of
one sort or another, which have tall smoke
stacks. The fires under them are very
hot, and the draft through them is fierce.
1t would be an easy thing to construct
ducts from the sewers to these smoke
stacks, and the gas, drawn into them,
would be burned up and never offend
anybody else's nostrils.-Health Comlnis-

MOMENTS.

Oh, there are moments In mans mortal years
When for an instant that which long has lain
Beyond our reach is on sudden found
In things of smallest compass and we hold
The unbounded shut in one small minutes space
And worlds within the hollow of our hand
A world of music in one word Of love,
A world of love in one quick wordless look,
A world Of thought In one translucent phrase
A world of memory In one mournful chord
A world of sorrow in one little song.
Such moments are mans notes.-the divine
